Another fresh happy girl, surrounded by that special bright light, you always seem to manage to get!
Tell us, what is your secret? How do you always seem to command the weather, and get that light around your models!?
My friend, that is power!!!!
Another photo, another stylish girl, with a 70′s hat, and a gone by era overall…
My mother has a cardigan similar to that!…

I can’t think of anything to ask, YET. But I will come up with something.

I love contrasting colours in outfits! Her blue cardigan is very very similar to the charcoal grey toggle cardigan I recently bought at Banana Republic’s mens section. I haven’t even worn it yet. I have been leaning towards mens clothing lately… they’re just so comfortable!

Agh, another charming, smiling face! And we New Yorkers have such a bad reputation for being short-tempered and always wearing only black…

I’ll be interested in reading her list! I can claim proficiency in showing people around downtown, the theater district and Barneys, but the Upper West Side remains a mystery, after 13 years in New York! So it takes awhile to shake off your newcomer status.

But for celebrity sightings, go to Pastis for breakfast or late lunch during the week, or to Angus McIndoe’s restaurant on West 44th after theater lets out during the week. For cheap shopping thrills, scan the web for sample sales, an almost daily event. Or get your nails done in the most of-the-moment hue at Rescue Beauty Lounge! Oh, and my favorite museum has to be the Frick– no strollers or young children permitted! Please ask your friend for suggestions of what to do with visiting teenagers, the request I hear most often.

Love your suggestion about my one glove– besides I always need one hand free to deal with the noisy terrier! I’ll be in Italy in early March. Hope to find a close replacement at Madova in Florence or in Rome. The terrier and I are currently on Hilton Head Island until March 1, skipping winter in NYC. Off to lovely Savannah today!

Please ask her the best place to consign designer clothing and not get ripped off by the store. I have a handful of new, unworn items (bought on a gamble on online final sales) and have no idea where to unload them other than eBay which I’d like to avoid of I can.

I would love a New York city guide. I find no matter how much time you spend there, there is always something new to discover. That’s part of what makes NY so magical. Can’t wait to see what Kate comes up with!

I love your work. And I love the way you write.
However, I’m always so busy, I can never devote the right amount of time to reading it all.
So I’ve decided that this weekend, I’m gonna take a day and go through all your posts (this probably won’t work, but I will attempt it).

Hello Garance!
I would love to know about some great up and coming (aka affordable!) neighborhoods to live in New York City. Areas that have an abundance of young people, great cafes and restaurants, beautiful shops, and the likes. Thank you!
All the best,
Brittany xx

What about the best “hidden libraries (not bookshops/sex-shops!)”? The ones in old medium-sized buildings that usually have art deco interiors and are a few floors up from the office of a small business or something? Well I can’t say “usually” because I had only found one once (and by accident) in New York a couple of years ago. Can’t even remember where!!

Also thought I found one in London ages ago which (turned out to be a very hospitable bookshop that sells first and early edition books) that was upstairs from a cafe in an alley on one of the side-streets of Piccadilly Circus.

I live in Sydney and we have a little library around the corner from The Spanish Quarter! It specialises in gnostic studies, books about symbology in Renaissance Art, genies, Shangri-La, forbidden teachings in religion, what “alchemy” really is.. I even found a 2kg book about St Francis written by people who knew and met him… very interesting! It’s the best place to watch the madness and crowds buzz on the streets below without people knowing that you or the library you’re in even exists!

Though I understand if Kate would want to keep them secret – because I feel that way about the library in Sydney!
